An objectof invention to provide dispenser in which pails of arious sizes can a; ing drawing,thesubjoined detailed-description, and the appended claims. I; i In. the drawing t 1,is a front elevation-of'my vending cabinet with parts broken away. I Fig. 2, is a bottom plan- View of the-same.

Fig. 3, is a side elevation.- Fig. 1, is a sectional view takenon line 4:, tofFigureL' Fig. 5, is an enlarged fragmentary longitudinal sectional View on line 5, 5 of Figure :1;

' Referring more p articul arly to the draw mg: a The numeral 1 indicates my cabinet in which a plurality of' longitudinally extending compartments 2 are-Iprovided-" Parti' tion walls 3 in the cabinet separate*tl1e'va-' rious compartments. A front'wall'4 extends to adjacent the bottom of a space at the cabinet but the lower end isleft open, as at 5, so that the pails can be vended therethrough. An adjusting plate 6 is mounted on the rear wall of the cabinet in each of the compartments 2 and the adjusting plate is adapted to be moved inwardly into the compartment constricting the lower opening thereof and thus forcing the pails towards the front wall 4 for a purpose to be further described.

The plates 6 are each provided with a notch 7 therein across which the plates bend and this notch is about in line with the lower edge of the front wall 4. To provide the necessary adjustment of the plate 6 a screw 8 screws through the front edge thereof, said screw being threaded into a stationary nut 9 secured to the rear wall of the cabinet. The top of the plate 6 rests against the top of the cabinet and thus it will be seen that when marasain i 'itrpn W l a thacabi t s letea l i huskleu uariilm e r s tsih e sateen; 19 [sas es Kathie eons sietm ithe sa n men i 2 i a d W 1. 1g t he tra s t he A 1 01 1, f etahme ng s, wi'ef t the gfront {Wall 4 at the bo ttom thereof;- This mold n g. extends across 5 the entire 1 cabinet and is welded, bolted or otherwise secured;
